Re-Forming Formed: 2010
This page last updated:3/21/2012
The Rabbit's Hole Village
Southern CO. / Not purchased., Colorado,
United States
 It is the intent of TRHV to establish a fully functional microcosm within the confines of the remaining freedoms in the United States of America. To create and expand upon a structure that will provide a sustainable, renewable, redundant, self-reliant, motivated, happy, educated and secure lifestyle. To lead by nonviolent nondestructive actions and selfless cooperation in the hopes that our example will display to others that they don't need to be dependant on the established social, governmental and economic systems to be able to lead fulfilling lives.
We recognize the world is a fragile place that so happens to be our only home at this time. That everything around us tends to be erratic and potentially volatile. Change is a forever occurring event and predictability not always possible. It is our goal to make a change for the better before change of another kind becomes forced upon us. TRHV is a small scale voluntary experiment for like-minded individuals who believe that the needed change in our world must come from those that are disassociated with current social, governmental and economic leadership. For those that recognize this experiment as an acceptable and viable solution.
The ways we see to promote stability and peace, to the best of our abilities, are to revert back to an agrarian, village and rural community lifestyle. To work on a scale that isn't so large that the systems in place to maintain continuity inevitably expand beyond their capacity and limitations. To not reach a point where obligations and priorities, most of which are unnecessary, to negate our human nature. To recognize that ego and selfishness leads one to care only for themselves and for those that directly affects them. To live a life not bound by inapplicable and irrational restrictions that are not within our capacity to change. To participate in a promising ideological experiment that has tangible meaning and the possibility to grow to provide indefinite happiness, companionship, sustainability, security, self-reliance and contentment. To experience true freedom the way it was meant to be. Without idolatry, superficial materialism and with unalienable rights derived from birth.
In the beginning, the Founders conceptions will build the structure. When the Founders are no longer a part of TRHV, the foundation will have been built for future generations to continue on their own path. Hopefully things will not become overly complicated and politically correct, thus representing a potential repeat of events that birthed TRHV concept.
